weightless thoughts

'The strangest possibility Jung could imagine, or was at least willing
to admit in writing, was that the UFO might be a “materialized
psychism.” He does not define what exactly one of those might be, but
both the term, and his essay more generally, intimate that if the flying
saucer were in some sense “material,” its materiality would have to be
some kind of psychological projection. Modern secular humanity was
perhaps experiencing a longing for belief (-ism) powerful enough to
float a mysterious image in the skies?'
